The place is nice but we had some bad experiences. The doors to the closet fell off the track when trying to open it. The cheeseburger was very salty. We were only given 1 wash towel and the tissue boxes had 2 tissues. I guess it would have been great had it not been for these problems.

The room very comfortable and amenities were more than adequate. The best feature of this establishment is the staff, they made you feel at home, caring in every way and were always cheerful and most helpful. The front desk in particular were great, Kristin, Daniela & Jesus went out of their way to make my 3 week stay so enjoyable.... More

If in the rio Rico area, it was great with views, nice comfortable rooms and a staff that made you feel like they really appreciated you came! For such a nice place the price was good, we have traveled the county a lot and were very happy with this choice!

A beautiful, older property in a quiet location with a perfectly gorgeous view of the mountains. Very attentive service...a room assignment error resulted in an immediate major upgrade. A perfect evening on the patio as the full moon rose....drinks, a delicious dinner, and live music. We'll be back!

My husband and I were there just this past weekend from 5/24-5/27. We were not disappointed, but we weren't thrilled. The photos tell a VERY different story than the facts of the "resort." This is NOT a four star establishment, two-and-a-half if that. The bed was horrible, the pillows need to be updated in the WORSE way. I didn't see... More

We loved our little getaway to Esplendor Resort. Had a nice room on the southwest side of the property, very quite, very peacful. Had some drinks and apps out on the patio of the bar/restaurant. Little pricey, but really good. Good friendly service. The grounds, the pool area were very nice. For the deal we got for this place, if... More

We decided we needed a getaway for the Memorial Day weekend. We booked this property wanting to be nearby Green Valley, Tubac, and Nogales. It was an ideal property to book and the last morning they even accepted the free breakfast coupon offered by TA. The room was adequate and clean, however, mattress and pillows were well beyond their useful... More

My wife and I stayed for 2 nights in early April and had a great time at this resort. The room was extra large - 2 rooms in fact - with a king bed in one and a nice sitting area in the other. We ate on the outside deck for breakfast each morning and the service and food were... More
